Supreme Court of Arkansas

Kelley v. Shults.dissent

April 3, 20172017 Ark. 112

Summary

Justice Wood dissented from dismissal of the State's emergency stay request based on the absence of a written order in the appellate record. She reasoned that the written-order requirement was procedural, not jurisdictional, and that the court should direct the State to supplement the record rather than dismiss the request. Justice Womack joined the dissent.
